Another Ear Infection

Make that another double ear infection for Owen and sent us to the doctor on Christmas Eve...5th one that has been treated with antibiotics which means the next one sends us to the ENT.  But we saw a different doctor this time, Dr. Farrel who we love and he said that hopefully we can wait until Owen turns 2 to make a decision to get tubes or not.  He told us that before age 2 their faces are very round and around 2 they start to elongate.  What that means for Owen is that right now his canals are horizontal and hopefully when his face gets longer they will also become longer and more on the downward slope so they will drain better.  Let's hope so!  But I have a feeling he may be like his mommy, I had tubes very early :(
